    Orbital period of satellite about a nonrotating body

    I got it! I left out a times two...I was trying to be smooth with my algebra to make my calculations easier and left out a x 2. I got it. R=784624 so R+r=1.78562x10^6. Using the third equation that gives me 35 minutes. Thank you, at least I knew I was working it out correctly!

    Orbital period of satellite about a nonrotating body

    Homework Statement A satellite is in circular orbit at an altitude of 1000 km above the surface of a nonrotating planet with n orbital speed of 5.3 km/s. The escape velocity for the planet is 11.3 km/s. In this situation the orbital period of the satellite, in minutes, is...? Homework...

    Angular Velocity Homework: Cylinder, 10kg Mass, 50m High

    Thank you for your help, it shouldn't be radians/sec, should I convert it?

    Angular velocity and rotational equilibrium

    I am really trying to understand what you are doing, but I haven't done three dimensional analysis before, I am only through Calculus 1...that was the only prereq. for this course, so bare with me...I assumed you named them respectively, so why is p parallel to 2i + 2j + k? I sent my...

    Angular Velocity Homework: Cylinder, 10kg Mass, 50m High

    Can I do that? Can I replace ω with (v/r)? Is it the same velocity? So then my answer would be: mgh=(1/2)Iω2 + (1/2)mv2 2450=v2(30) v=9.04 m/s ω=(9.04/.5)=18.07 rev/s?

    Angular velocity and rotational equilibrium

    This is pretty much a shot in the dark. I have never done anything in 3-dimensions We only covered this in class for a bit. The instructor tried to jam 3 chapters into one class, so here we go a. cos\theta=0 \theta=90 b.∑ τ =I\alpha \tau=r x F sin \theta I=(1/12)(50)(22+32)=54.17...

    Angular Velocity Homework: Cylinder, 10kg Mass, 50m High

    Does that mean I need to use the energy equation: mgh=Iω2+.5mv2 To find v=at; have to find Xf=.5at2 t=2.26s; v=9.8(2.26)=22.15m/s (10)(9.8)(25)=(12.5)ω2+.5(10)22.152 but that gives me -.16 for ω2?? Is my mgh correct?

    Angular Velocity Homework: Cylinder, 10kg Mass, 50m High

    Homework Equations I=.5Mr2 Work=Fd Force=ma Energy: mgh=.5Iω2The Attempt at a Solution Initial angular velocity is 0 rad/s r=.5m F=ma=(10)(9.8)=98N W=(98)(25)=2450 J I=(.5)(100)(.52)=12.5 2450=(.5)12.5ω2 ω=19.79rad/s---is that even close to right?
